..To almost becalmed again.

10 minutes after my last log entry, it suddenly blew 20 kts.  I also noticed some birds were sitting on the water (like sitting cows an omen for bad weather - an old wives tale maybe).

This being papagayo country (although the season is supposed to be over) I took a reef in.  20 minutes later I had to take another - it was blowing 25kts and we were going to weather and by now the sea was confused.

This continued for most of the day - great stuff!  Not quite sure where it came from...  Anyway it just upped and died on me and I'm now ghosting along with the asymmetric spinnaker almost set - it keeps collapsing as the mast moves in the swell.

Oh well it was good while it lasted.
